    Woodcock/grouse

    Northern WI has a lot of public forest land. County, state and federal lands are available. You might look at where RGS has their habitat projects. It’s a start for you. Go where the birds are.

    Knee Surgery Question

    Had a double knee replacement 6.5 years ago, one at 6AM and one at 8AM. I was walking down the hall at 4PM. I took off work 17 days. You can only sit on ass so long. The motion is the lotion. Worked well for me until it didn’t. Second replacement on the left four years later, it...

    WTB Ithaca/SKB 280

    My SKB 200E will pass to my grandson. Purchased in 1979 for $375. Good luck in your search. It was bad luck for many quail, Huns, woodcock, sharpies, roosters, pigeons and grouse. My honor to have him hunt with me and the 200E.

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    If you get a chance to have a visit and have your foot measured there, you will be most impressed. Helpful staff and great smells of tanned leathers, like a memorable coffee and spent shot shells. I have worn five pairs of Russells, still have two. Classic

    Crows can get West Nile Virus, but can’t transmit to dogs. Mosquitos are the culprit.

    New from Illinois

    Welcome. My Dad moved the family from N.Riverside to NW WI in 1963. It was the best thing he could have done for my brother and myself. It opened a new world for us, living on a creek in the country. Lots of good info from folks here. We don’t always agree, but respect each others opinions...

    Shed dogs ?

    What state are we looking for sheds?? We always found many more and impressive sheds in Kansas than WI. Much easier to find in KS. Nice work by your springers. Thanks Matt.

    Dog soap, shampoo?

    Always dilute shampoo 1:2 with water. You will get better distribution across your dog and avoid clumps of shampoo. Always rinse well and dry completely to avoid hot spots. Wipe out ears with baby wipes. I only bathe my dog as needed. Most of her baths are during the hunting season. Use...
